Superior Audio Performance with True Condenser Technology

At the heart of the Superlux L401U is its true condenser capsule, offering a large 1-inch (25.4mm) diaphragm that captures detailed and natural sound across a wide frequency range of 20Hz – 20kHz. Its cardioid polar pattern effectively isolates the main sound source while minimizing background noise, making it ideal for vocal recordings, instrument tracking, and professional streaming setups.

One of the standout features of the L401U is its integrated headphone output (3.5mm stereo jack) with direct monitoring. This allows users to hear themselves in real time with zero-latency monitoring, ensuring accurate vocal and instrument recordings. The microphone also features dedicated volume control knobs for both direct and mixed monitoring, providing precise control over your audio levels during recording sessions.

With a headphone output power of 150mW (at 1kHz, 1% T.H.D., 16Ω) and low distortion (<0.5% at 1kHz), the L401U ensures clear and powerful monitoring, making it perfect for professional recording, streaming, and live sessions.
